Passivated Single-Crystalline CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 Nanowire Photodetector with High Detectivity and Polarization Sensitivity
Photodetectors convert light signals into current or voltage outputs and are widely used for imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy. Perovskite-based photodetectors have shown high sensitivity and fast response due to the unprecedented low recombination loss in this solution processed semiconductor. Amo...

Summary: | Photodetectors convert light signals into current or voltage outputs and are widely used for imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy. Perovskite-based photodetectors have shown high sensitivity and fast response due to the unprecedented low recombination loss in this solution processed semiconductor. Among various types of CH

nanowire photodetectors is their large surface area, which catalyzes carrier recombination and material decomposition, thus significantly degrading device performance and stability. Here we solved this key problem by introducing oleic acid soaking to passivate surface defects of CH
